“Getty Images’ visual assets are highly desirable for use in connection with artificial intelligence and machine learning because of their high quality, and because they are accompanied by content-specific, detailed captions and rich metadata,” it writes in the lawsuit.
Getty has even accused Stability AI of being a direct competitor, building its business off the back of Getty’s extensive photo library.
